I had been talking to hubby about building me a new studio on a pad of cement we have on the side of the house. There was an old storage shed out there that had just rusted and was leaking and basically of no use. So for my combined Christmas and Anniversary gift he teamed up with our brother in law and built me a brand new 10 x 10 studio.
We have just recently finished it. Hubby did the construction and I helped with the mudding of the drywalls. Then I primed and painted it, installed the electricity, installed the laminate flooring (which I got off Craigs list for cheap), hung the curtains and moved all my stuff in. I had to purge some things but all in all I'm really very excited. I work in paper, doing collage/paper mache/altered art; so I built this rack to hang my papers so I could store them efficiently and be able to see what I have.

The Before Shot:


And a few of the inside:



It still needs to have the outside painted but we'll do that when we paint the house this year. And I'll spruce it up with some plants and pavers. My sister keeps teasing me that I should have a pink tool belt and go for my contractors license. I learned a lot about construction through this process, but hubby deserves most of the recognition, I just ♥love♥ that man.
Now off to get creative!
